because of this election, if we see romney elected, we'll see oil prices drop. you'll see energy prices drop. that might be a buying opportunity at that point. other than that, i really believe we have to just take a look and see attitude right now. >> well, one of our guests, a regular on this program, had a great idea. he said to me, maybe for one month the fed instead of putting that $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities buying, put that on hold and send it to some of the ravaged areas like staten island, like new jersey. >> i love it. i absolutely love that idea. >> i do too. >> then the fed's crossing the line into fiscal policy and out of the realm of monetary policy. >> where are we going to get it? >> fema responds rather adroitly to -- katrina notwithstanding, to these disasters. i suspect they're going to be quite responsive right now for those who have been displaced, who have lost family members, who don't have homes. i think there will be a rapid response from the federal government. >> i'm just saying, we could use that money in other areas rig

[ laughter ] you guys, the election is just four days away. and more than 2.7 million people in florida have already cast their votes. [ cheers ] unfortunately since it's florida most of them just stuffed their ballots into a toaster oven. they had no idea. [ laughter ] "i voted twice." you guys probably hear about this because of all the traffic congestion in new york due to the hurricane. mayor bloomberg has been requiring people commuting over the bridges to carpool into the city. that's right. there must be at least three people in every car. it can be a little awkward riding with people you don't know. so, with some tips to make car pooling more pleasant, here's mta spokesman pete murphy. pete? >> thank you, jimmy. [ cheers and applause ] thank you, jimmy. now, we understand that carpooling can be difficult, especially when you're stuck in traffic with people you don't know for two hours straig

i was talking to one of the romney people the other day. they said we think this will go away by thursday, but on thursday, of course, you had all the pictures of governor christie and the president of the united states and the endorsement by mike bloomberg. how name packets out there it's hard to say. at this point from now number tuesday it's get out the vote, matt. it's the ground game. that's what really counts. >> let's talk about the images we're looking at right there. this was wednesday, president obama and chris christie touring some of the devastated areas. yes, they came together for all the right reasons. chris christie was the keynote speaker at the republican convention. he's a key ally of mitt romney. did that image hurt the romney campaign? >> well, i'm sure that it cautioned a lot of angst backstage, and i'm sure that in the obama campaign the operatives were saying, yes, we've got chris christie at our side with these extraordinary images, but, again, both sides say we now know where the votes are. we know there are very f

romney, the campaign there has nine. talk about the advantage that off aers. . >> we learned years ago having a strong, local centered ground opaeratio opo operation where people are empowered makes a big difference. to obama's victories in 2008 and certainly here in new hampshire in 2008 when we had a democratic sweep. i actually believe, although the results will all be close, we're going to hold on to the governor's office and pick up both congressional seats, as well as gain the majorities in the legislature. republicans had a big tea party year in 2010. >> let me ask you about a bit of a disconnect that the number in the stats for the state and how they may not really connect to the voters. the president won in new hampshire in 2008 by nine points. unemployment is 5.7% below the national average. housing prices are up. he has twice as many field offices than romney and you say you expected it to get closer for the race to tighten. why is it the good news for new hampshire connecting with support for the president? i

mitt romney. are you seeing anything in polls from talking to these people that suggests that might have changed? >> i do not think it has changed dramatically. there was some sense that what momentum he had was beginning to slow a little bit, but i have to say in talking to people the last few days on both sides in different states, both sides feel some sense of confidence. the obama team, as we know, has been insistent that they will win this election, and they have said this repeatedly for the last week, and i think that they believe they have a ground operation in place to get the voters out that they need, but in talking to republicans, what i have heard over the last two days is in republican areas, there is great enthusiasm for governor romney at this point. up until a few weeks ago or a month ago, the enthusiasm on the republican side was mostly aimed at defeating the president, and now, what has clicked in is some enthusiasm to actually elect mitt romney. they are counting on a big surge
